Cadwalader Park

After the purchase of the Farlee estate for a city park, the city contracted the landscape designer, Frederick Law Olmstead. Olmstead's style is defined by natural rolling landscape, plantings of various species and sub-species of trees and shrubs, the consistent use of curved footpaths and roadways, and often the addition of animals in a natural habitat. Though perhaps best known for his design of Central Park in New York, the same approach was applied to the nearly one hundred acres resulting in what is now Cadwalader Park. The park honors Dr Thomas Cadwalader, the community's first chief burgess and a pioneer in the use of preventive inoculation.
